Gas cylinder explosions in the slums have spread around the area

14.01.2021

Terrible fire has spread in Bagbazar slum of Kolkata. The fire has spread far and wide and caused a lot of damage. Many nearby bushes have been burnt to ashes. However, the residents were brought to a safe place immediately after the fire broke out.

After the fire broke out, the locals informed the fire department to bring the fire under control and 20 fire engines came to the spot from there. Upon arriving, firefighters speculated that the gas cylinder may have exploded.

The fire spread to the area and caused severe disruption to traffic. Passengers returning to the office were stranded due to traffic jams. It is learned that a fire broke out in a slum near a women's college in Bagbazar.

And since that slum is on the banks of the Ganges, fire spread quickly in that slum. As the wind blows along the Ganges, the flames engulf the huts. The fire caused damage to the area but no casualties were reported.

According to local residents, there was a loud noise and then a fire. Locals also joined hands with firefighters to bring the fire under control. Water is being taken from Bagbazar canal but the fire has not been brought under control yet, said firefighters.
